"Perfect for beginners and great for experienced players on a budget."

Sound:
The sound is overall pretty good, though you get some feedback when not playing.
Feature:
All the standard features of a Fender Jazz Bass. It came with almost everything you need to start playing. The only issue here is they could've included a better tuner and picks. Most people probably wouldn't have a problem with the lack of picks, due to the fact that many bassists don't use them. I do however and since they are dirt cheap, buying some wasn't a problem.
Ease of Use:
If you know how to play bass, it'll sound fine. For beginners like myself, its easy to pick up the basics. This bass is ideal for people just starting out and looking to buy their first instrument.
Quality:
Top quality, solid bass that looks as though it could stand quite a beating. The neck and frets are very good and durable.
Value:
This pack, along with the Squier Precision Bass pack, are the best deals on the site. Top quality Fender products at an unbeatable price. Would recommend over the Epiphone or Ibanez beginner basses anyday.
Manufacturer Support:
Never had any need for customer support for the product.
The Wow Factor:
I personally like the tone and appearance of the Jazz bass over the Precision bass, and coupled with the striking red color of my own its looks are second to none. Except maybe for the Rickenbacker bass, which I'll buy someday if I strike it rich.
Overall:
Great product at a great price. I expect to use this bass for a couple of years before I buy a fully fledged Fender Jazz, but for now it cuts the mustard. Near perfect tone with Fender quality. Highly Recommended!

"Great for a beginner who wants to start playing"

Sound:
The sound is pretty good. The amp hums a little but you dont really notice it when your playing so i guess it doesnt matter. The guitar sounds alright. There is a definite difference in the tone from other bases. I just started playing so the only other basses ive heard are $400-$500 Epiphone basses. They sound and better but, for what you get with the P Bass, its good starting out. You get control over the tone which is from muffled but distinct bass that can be you get uber sensitive hear everything tone. I guess this is the strength of the pickup...
Feature:
I give this a 9 because it cost with everything you need. the bass, the amp, the cable, the strap. all good stuff. i also includes some headphones that let you listen to the amp. they are ok, but what can i say, i have Song MDR600s. I take one point off because you dont get a tuner which i would have liked to tune the bass to drop D and what not.
Ease of Use:
this is my first bass so i guess its pretty good. the neck has a fast finish which i like. its not the glossy crap that sticks. picking up other basses, the neck feels really long. thats my only concern if i were to buy another bass, that it doesnt feel as long as this one. its not such a bad thing, in fact it may make you a little faster for those smaller basses because of the greater distance. i dont know.
Quality:
i say 10 because nothing has stopped working at all, the whole thing feels rock solid. the paint is really nice, some powder coated bright red. flawless by the way. obviously this is a $200 Squire, not a $2000 Fender, so im not complaining at all. this is perfect for starting out.
Value:
Perfect for starting out
Manufacturer Support:
Didnt use it.
The Wow Factor:
How bad do you wanna start playing bass is the question?
Overall:
I already know im going to be buying another guitar within a year, but thats only because i know there is not substitute for a fine bass. but until then, this is just fine. like i said, it came with everthing so i wouldnt complain. it even came with a video which was cool, and you can even pick between 4 colours if you go to a store (L&McQ)
